2 The Farm Record Book This Farm Record Book is designed to provide a farmer with an organized system for recording expenses, income, land use and treatment, social security and income tax information. Inventory and depreciation schedules are kept in a separate book titled the Louisiana Farm Inventory Record. No farm record book will be any more accurate or complete than the farm manager makes it. Entries should be made daily as a sale or purchase is made so nothing is forgotten. Farm records are of little value unless properly used. The proper farm analysis depends on the individual situation. While many different types of farm analysis can be made, the manager should consider analyzing the use of and returns to the farm's most limited resource. Each year, a net worth statement should be completed so the manager can judge the economic success or failure of the farm. The Louisiana Farm Record Book was designed and intended to be used as an important farm management tool. No provision has been made in this book for recording household, personal or non-farm transactions. These transactions should be recorded elsewhere because income taxes and family planning are affected. Other record books are available in pdf format on our website: Table of Contents Cash Farm and Income... Cash Farm... Cash Farm Expense Totals... Cash Farm Income...0 Cash Farm Income Totals...

3 CASH FARM EXPENSES & INCOME The purpose of keeping business expense and income information is to create reports about the business. These reports are used to analyze the business's current financial situation (sources of income, expenses and spending habits) and to plan for the future. Financial information must be organized in an easily understood manner. Organized information tells important facts about the financial situation of the business. Simply listing each transaction for the year makes the manager's job more difficult and time consuming. Think of the manager searching through a very large box of buttons to find a matching set. Using expense and income categories to summarize business transactions makes the information easier to understand and analyze. Farm managers need to know about the expense and income transactions of the business if the business is to be correctly managed. Expense transactions tell the manager how much money is leaving the business, what the expenses are and what each enterprise costs. Income transactions provide information about how much income the business is generating, what items were sold to generate the income and what enterprise produced those items for sale. A manager who can reduce expenses while maintaining current income levels can increase business profits. Likewise, a manager who can increase income while maintaining expenses can increase profits. Different types of businesses have different kinds of income and expenses. For example, insecticides and herbicides are major expenses for cotton growers, but the items are minor expenses for a hog farmer. Hog farmers are more interested in feed and veterinary expenses. A cotton farmer receives income from the sale of cotton lint and seed, and a hog farmer's income comes from the sale of hogs. Each manager must decide what expense and income items are important for understanding the particular business. Some farm businesses have more than one enterprise. The cotton grower may also grow soybeans, or the hog farmer may grow corn. The expenses and income of each enterprise should be kept separately. Common Farm Business Expense Categories: Payroll Chemicals Repairs and Maintenance: Buildings and Facilities Other Farm Feed Purchases Custom Work Hired Utilities Principal Payments Veterinary Fuel, Oil and Grease Tax, Interest and Insurance Purchases: Capital Items & Livestock Fertilizer and Lime Repairs and Maintenance: Machinery Rent or Lease Payments Seeds and Plants Repairs and Maintenance: Equipment Supplies Common Farm Business Income Categories: Crop Sales Custom Work Income Interest and Dividend Income Miscellaneous Income Refunds Livestock Sales Agricultural Program Payments Expense and income categories group business transactions so a manager can more easily study the business and conduct an analysis of the business.
